TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,904, dated February 15, 1881.

Application filed July 9, 1880. (Model) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL PUOHTA, of Washington, in the county of Franklin and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Tables, of which the following is' a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in the class of tables known as saloon-tables, which are provided on four sides, under the table-top, with boxes or recesses for holding cards or other articles for playing games, and also for holding glasses of beverage belonging to the persons occupying the table, in order to leave the table-top entirely free.

The invention consists in atable having boxes arranged at the corners under the top and intermediate arches, which both serve to brace the table and allow a space for the legs of the sitter at each side of the table, as hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a table embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. I

A represents the table-top, and B the legs, of a four-cornered table.

At the four corners of the table are boxes D, arranged in proximity to the legs 13. As

.front on each of two sides here shown, each box is arranged with an open of the table at right angles to each other; but, if desired, one of these fronts may be closed and each box exposed on only one side of the table. By thus arranging the boxes at the corners or near the table-legs they are out of the way of the knees of the persons sitting at the table, and are at the same time within convenient reach.

E E representmetallie bars, each of which is curved in quadrant-a1 form. The lower end of each bar is attached to one of the boxes D, and the upper end is attached to the cleat on the under side of the table-top. By this means the top and legs are firmly braced, and suflicient space is left for the knees of the person sitting:

at the table.

I am aware that a cooking-table has been provided with a central drawer and one on each'side ofit, and a revolving table with angular recesses at the ends; but

What I claim as new is- The combination, with the table-top A and legs B, of the corner boxes, D, and metallic arches E, all arranged as shown and described.

EMIL PUOHTA.
